I even consider the .270win to be a 7mm ... the 7mm-06 !!
Exactly, and anyone who argues .280 Rem vs .270 Win, has waaaay too much time on their hands
which cal to choose

hahahahaha
agreed you pick the one you like where the rifle fits you the difference is irrelevant in real life only seen in a lab
Yep That is what I did kept the 280 's and sold the 7mm08
In 1998 I went with the 280 Remington as that was what was available.
When Looking for a 260/6.5, a short action became available first.
I had a 270 which I sold and a 30-06 which I gave to my son.
The difference between a 270 and the 280 is 0.007".
If you reload there are a number of factors to research: Ballistics, reloading charts, recoil, availability of bullets and brass.
And now to stir the pot: The only reason to have a 7mm08 is the lesser chance of hitting yourself in the eye with the bolt when reloading!

That would be .270 Winchester to the metrically challenged folks.
For targets, and sometimes deer. I'd go the 7mm-08. For all around hunting. I'd go the .280 hands down. Only bcuz I love .280's. As for game. Dead is dead. Not a big enough diff to worry about. Of course a short action blr in 7mm-08 would be a sweet carry!
